Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 3l, 1921i.

Application filed December 3l, 1918. Serial No. 269,066.

To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, HEINRICH Josr, a citizen of the Swiss Confederation, and residing at Kreuzlingen, Switzerland, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Templets, ot which the 'following is a specification.

The present invention has reference to certain new and useful improvements in templets such as are used for cutting out and marking leather and like sott material, for instance shoe uppers and the like.

For cutting out and marking certain work pieces, for instance vamps and other shoe parts, so that they can readily be placed upon one another in the correct position for being glued or stitched together, templets are now used which are provided with apertures through which the underlying work piece is marked by the insertion of a suitable pointed tool, but their use has several disadvantages: for instance that often through carelessness on the part ot the operator not all of the required locations are marked, that the leather is unnecessarily perforated, bruised or otherwise injured, and also that the templet itself is apt to be damaged by the marking tool.

According to the present invention these disadvantages are eilectively done away with by providing the templet body at the points to be marked oil with excrescenoes ot such conformation that upon being impressed on the leather they will leave a permanent mark therein without at the same time bruising or otherwise injuring it. A special marking tool, therefore, can be dispensed with. he impressed marks are then used as guides in adjusting another work piece on this marked piece in proper register.

In order to make my invention more readily understood, l will now describe it in detail with reference to the accompanying drawing, in which Figure l represents a plan of a portion of such a templet, showing the simplest form of marking members; Fig. ll is a plan ot a portion of a templet showing marking members of somewhat modified construction. Fig. 2 is a section on line A--A of Fig. l; and Fig. 3 a similar section on line B- B of Fig. la; Fig. 4 is a plan of a marking member fastening device, ot which Figs. 5 and 6 show sections of ditlerent designs.

The body ot the templet l, which may be incased by a metal rim 2, is provided at the points to be marked olf on the underlying work material with relatively short and somewhat blunted studs or knobs 3, which may be secured to the templct in any suitable manner, for instance by simply driving in their sharp pointed inner end d, or by screwing them in, as at 5 (Fig. 2). They can readily be displaced on the templet to suit changing requirements. lnstead of being secured direct to the templet, these knobs may also be suitably mounted upon (Fig. 5), or integrally extend (Fig. 6) from special base plates 6, shown in plan in Fig. il, of for instance triangular shape, whose apeXes are rectangularly bent oli" to form a spike or prong 7 by means of which the plates are then attached to the templet by being hammered into it.

ln use, the templet is superimposed upon the leatherl and is more or less forcibly pressed down upon it, whereupon the edge tool is guidedalong the metal rim for cutting out the ground pattern. By the pressure exerted on the templet the marking` studs 3 will be sunk into the leather and will leave their mark therein after the templet has been lifted off, without damaging the leather and without possibility ot one of the points to be marked oil having been lett unmarked.

TWhat l claim is ln a templet of the character set forth, in combination, a templet body proper, marking members adapted to be relatively displace-ably secured to said templet body, each comprising a triangular base plate, prongs rectangularly extending from said base plate and obtained by bending-over the pointed apexes of said triangular plate, and a marking stud extending centrally from said base plate in a direction opposed to that of said prongs.
